Dear Alma Members and Friends,
We regret to inform you that we must postpone our scheduled medical mission and conference to Lebanon. This decision is due to many critical and interlinked reasons:
1. Airline Cancellations due to regional instability
2. Escalating Security Situation
3. Many volunteers that are Doctors and Pharmacists, canceled due to the situation in the Middle East.
What this means for our mission.
Travel to and from Lebanon is currently unreliable and not safe.. Ensuring the safety of our team and the host communities is our foremost priority..
Even if flights resume, the security dynamics on the ground remain unpredictable.
We are postponing our medical mission until early September or earlier depends on the situation.
We are exploring remote support for local health providers and telemedicine partnership to sustain our impact during this pause. We commit to keeping you informed. Expect more information and more details in the future.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. We are still committed to the 40 scholarships to 40 medical students selected from all medical schools in Lebanon.
